PriRa SS: Life After Marriage

Chapter 8

Here goes the next part, happy reading..

Days started passing smoothly for Kapoor's as they were happy in their own little world. Now Ram and Priya became comfortable with eachother. They were like besties. Still they were not in position to take the next step in their marital relationship. Both were genuinely happy with the bond they share for now, so decided to go with a flow mutually not wanting to rush into anything. True to his words, Ram always accompanied Priya with the grocery shopping or any other shopping for their home. It kinda became their routine which helped them to establish the friendliness between them.

It was a random night, Ram woke up few minutes in to his sleep to quench his sudden thirst and was shocked seeing Priya massaging his feet. Ram immediately held her hand and stopped her the next moment making her shocked as he never woke up as soon as he slept.
Priya: do you want anything Mr. Kapoor?
Ram: what are you doing Priya?
Priya: what happened?
Ram: why are you pressing my legs? Did I Ask you to do?
Ram asked her confused,
Priya: no I just thought, I'm sorry if I disturbed your sleep.
Ram: you don't have to do these works Priya. Why are you doing these?
Priya: woh I just thought that
Ram: did I ask you? If I did then I'm really sorry. Even if I asked, you shouldn't do this.
Priya: why?
Ram: what do you mean by why?
Priya: I have every right on you.
Ram: yes you have Priya. But this is unacceptable.
Priya: Mr. Kapoor tell me one thing if I'm in pain will you not help me like this?
Ram: ofcourse I will help you, yeh bhi koi pochne ki baat hai kya?
Priya: exactly and you always sleep peacefully without any discomfort when I massage your legs. So it kinda became my routine.
Ram: routine? How long this is happening?
Priya: woh aise nahi.. Mera matlab...
Ram understood from her that this is going on for a while. He didn't want to make her uncomfortable.
Ram: priya you don't have to do any of this now as I'm perfectly fine.
Priya: par
Ram: I will seriously ask your help If I'm in pain. So now you don't have to do this daily.
Priya: but you...
Ram: I promise you Priya, I will ask your help. I will not hide my pain from you.
Priya: sure right?
Ram: yes, now come on sleep. It's already late.
Priya: why did you wake up? Do you need anything?
Ram: oh yeah...  for water.
Priya: I will get the bottle. I think I forgot the refilled water bottle in the kitchen. Just a minute.

With that she dashed out to kitchen, while Ram sat there looking at the direction his wife went. He can't help but admire her for what she is. It's true he is getting used to his work but the travelling he did between his sites were tedious as he have to use public transport. It would have been little easy for him if he had a bike but right now, their budget doesn't allow him to get a new bike. He had asked one of his colleague to find a him a second hand bike as he thought that would be affordable for them, he is hoping to get that by atleast next month as using public transport for his site visit  is becoming little problematic for him. Ram came out of his thoughts when Priya gave him the water bottle. He drank and whispered a good night to priya before Falling into sleep. Priya smiled seeing his sleeping face before giving into her sleep.

After three days, Ram tiredly entered his home. He was totally worn out and frustrated as he had been juggling between visiting three sites.
Ram looked at his wife, who gave him a cheerful smile, he smiled slightly and went to change his clothes.
He saw his wife nervously pacing to and fro in their room.
Ram: Priya
Priya: haan?
Ram: what happened to you?
Priya looked at him nervously as she can see him visibly tired.
Priya: woh woh Mr. Kapoor.
Ram: do you need something?
Priya: will you take me for shopping?
Ram: yeah sure, we can go on Saturday Priya.
Priya: nahi, Aaj matlab abhi.
Ram: iss waqt?
Priya: please?
Ram sighed as he was hell tired and he have a long day tomorrow, now all he need was some good food and food sleep but he can't deny his wife's wish. She rarely asked him to do something for her or home as she never bothers him with petty issues.
Ram: okey, we can go after our dinner.
Priya: I'm really sorry Mr. Kapoor. But shall we come and eat? The shop will get closed in an hour. We will get late if we were to have our dinner.
